Payers
The main focus of the rehabilitation project will be to effectively enhance the
availability and access of medications, Room, and boards, physical therapist, occupational
therapist, speech therapists, nurse services, supply and physiatrist visit through the use of
payers. The availability of such services and facilities will be critically significant in
addressing health challenges and improve on services such as stroke, physical and
occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, cardiac and stroke, brain injury and sports
medicine rehabilitation (Prybil, et al, 2016).
The project intends to engage public and private payers to help in financing strategies
aimed at improving infrastructure for health care services and investments in systems for
purposes of encouraging access to rehabilitation services to patients. Payers such as Medicare
and Medicaid will be attracted to the project. An estimated total of over $29 million dollars
will be mobilized within a period of three years to ease access to medications, room, and
boards, physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech therapist, nurse services, supply,
physiatrist visit in the area of Maine, United States of America(Prybil, et al, 2016). The above
finances will facilitate general improvements in health services; reduce the level of
unavoidable emergency departmental visits, patient admissions and coordination of care. It
should be noted that studies carried out from the area of MAINE, show that the overall
physical and occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, cardiac and stroke rehab,
brain injury and sports medicine rehabilitation services in a variety of inpatient and/or
outpatient settings have been poor (Prybil, et al, 2016). Therefore, the mobilization of
services from both private and Government payers like Medicare and Medicaid will help to
improve the level of patient access to such services. There have been funding issues in the
area of MAINE, the United States of America which can effectively be solved their

mobilization of payers to acquire the necessary infrastructure that is significant towards the
increase service access to patients (United Health Foundation, 2016).
Individual payers will also supplement others payers for purposes of increasing the
number of resources needed in the rehabilitation project. Various models will be utilized
while mobilizing money meant for physical and occupational therapy, speech-language
pathology, cardiac and stroke rehab, brain injury and sports medicine rehabilitation services
in a variety of inpatient and/or outpatient settings (Prybil, et al, 2016).
The payer payment strategy will make it easier to obtain the necessary resources vital
for the project. The fund obtained from payers will mainly focus on addressing the
community needs of the physical and occupational therapy, speech-language pathology,
cardiac and stroke rehab, brain injury and sports medicine rehabilitation services in a variety
of inpatient and/or outpatient settings. Important to note is that the available strategies and
tactics have not been effective enough in addressing the current challenges of the patients
associated with the above conditions, Therefore, the mobilization of payers will enable
increased sensitization and access to health care services of the concerned population
throughout the area of Maine, United States of America (Prybil, et al, 2016). Increased
sensitization, infrastructure, and resources will make it easier to provide educational sessions,
guidance, and counseling to the different areas of MAINE that are badly in need of the
services (Buetti et al, 2017).
More so, the funds mobilized from payers will make it easier to recruit more staff to
increase the current staff capacity. With the increased in the medical practitioners in the
health setting in the area, there is no doubt that effective and efficient services will be
provided to all patients in the in and outpatient settings. It should be noted that one of the
challenges that have been affecting the health care system has been inadequate personnel to
